Not ALL makeup is necessary.
I don't use eye shadow, powder or lipstick regularly, but I can’t live without eyeliner and my eye lash curler - pick your battles.
The best makeup is clear and clean skin and that’s another whole issue.
My go-to fast routine is: BB cream, bronzer, eyeliner, eyelashes curled, and Burt's Beeswax chapstick on my lips.
If I have a few more minutes or want to look a little nicer I add in some eyebrow color, blush before bronzer, lip liner under Burt's Beeswax chapstick, or if I am leaving the house my favorite lip gloss (that is currently hiding in a purse somewhere - I lose more dang lip gloss) a better eyeliner and some mascara.
Confession: With a very light touch I use my eyeliner as my lipliner. I kind of smear it in a little and put chapstick on top. If it's wrong I don't want to be right.
The point is choose your makeup battles.
Not really! Actually maybe. |
What face makeup are you using these days? I've started using Clinique City Base compact makeup because it's fast (i.e. I don't have to hunt down a makeup sponge or foundation brush and worry about spilling makeup all over my counter), but it doesn't quite have the staying power to last me the whole day. I think it's worth the compromise, but I'm always on the lookout for something better.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the link to this Blog Vanessa! I am obsessed with NARS tinted moisturizer & have been using daily in place of foundation/powder. Good coverage and it has 30 SPF! Also - NARS makes a 3 in 1 stick for eyes/cheeks/lips. 2 products + mascara and I am completely ready!
ReplyDeleteKelly and Vanessa thank you - Kelly I would place my order for your NARS products right now from amazon but I think I will look at the colors in person first to pick which matches best. I like any product that is a twofer in some way -- and yours is threeefer!!
